Broken Brakes





There was an engineer, manager, and a programmer driving down a steep
mountain road.  The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of
control.  Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it
against the embankment narrowly avoiding careening off the cliff.
They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise
unharmed.

The manager said, "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have
meetings, and through process of continuous improvement, develop a solution."

The engineer said, "No that would take too long, besides that method never
worked before.  I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the
brake system, isolate the problem and correct it."

The programmer said, "I think your both wrong!  I think we should all push
the car back up the hill and see if it happens again."
